Definitions
- This invention relates to a device for preventing fire and/or smoke, toxic gases and the like from spreading from one side of a barrier, such as a wall, floor, partition or the like, in a structure, to the other side, through an aperture which extends through the barrier.
- a barrier such as a wall, floor, partition or the like
- the invention is primarily concerned with an improved form of fire damper for location in concrete slabs forming the floors and walls of multi-storey buildings.
- fire dampers and fire collars There are in general two types of devices which are used to prevent fire from spreading through apertures, normally constituted by or being associated with pipes, conduits or ducts in walls, floors, partitions and the like: fire dampers and fire collars.
- Fire collars are usually employed with pipework or ducting which is formed from a deformable material including a plastics material such as PVC, rubber, or a deformable metal or composite material.
- a common type of fire collar comprises a metal collar which is fastened around a concrete slab-penetrating pipe formed from a plastics material, in the region where it traverses the slab. The collar encloses an intumescent material. When a fire on one side of the concrete slab reaches a sufficient intensity, it causes the intumescent material to expand, which in turn collapses or pinches off the deformable pipe. In this way, fire is prevented from spreading to the other side of the concrete slab by passing through the conduit. Examples of such fire collars are described in US-A5,058,346 and US-A- 5,347,767.
- Fire dampers are generally located in a barrier and are connected to pipework or ducting. They include a passage which may be closed by a valve arrangement when a fire on one side of the barrier triggers a heat detector incorporated in the damper.
- a valve arrangement when a fire on one side of the barrier triggers a heat detector incorporated in the damper.
- An example of this type of fire damper is described in WO 03/023267 A1.
- WO 03/023267 A1 describes a fire damper which is positioned in pipework or ducting at the location where the pipework or ducting traverses a barrier such as a partition.
- the fire damper has a housing incorporating a damper arrangement and a heat detector.
- the damper arrangement is designed to normally enable unimpeded flow of fluid through the pipework or ducting, but to seal off the pipework or ducting when the heat detector reacts to a preset temperature value.
- the damper includes a cylinder or ball valve having an internal passageway which is of substantially the same diameter to that of the pipework or ducting.
- the cylinder or ball valve is rotatable between an open position where the passage of fluid through the pipework or ducting is unimpeded, and a closed position, whereby the passage of fluid is restricted.
- an intumescent material is disposed within the cylinder or ball valve such that after a period the intumescent material expands to provide a further seal for the pipework or ducting. The delay in the expansion of the intumescent material can allow smoke or toxic fumes to pass through the cavity between the cylinder or ball valve and the housing.
- the invention provides a damper for sealing a conduit which extends through a barrier, said damper comprising a housing and a rotatable valve located in said housing, said rotatable valve having an internal passageway of substantially the same diameter as an internal diameter of said conduit, said rotatable valve being rotatable within said housing between an open position in which fluid flow through said damper is substantially unimpeded and a closed position in which fluid flow through said damper is substantially impeded, said rotatable valve being actuated by a detector to move from said open position to said closed position, characterised in that said detector is a heat detector is constituted by material positioned between said housing and said rotatable valve, said material being adapted to yield when a predetermined temperature is reached, allowing said rotatable valve to move to said closed position.
- the invention also provides a damper for sealing a conduit which extends through a barrier, said damper comprising a housing and a rotatable valve located in said housing, said rotatable valve having an internal passageway of substantially the same diameter as an internal diameter of said conduit, said rotatable valve being rotatable within said housing between an open position in which fluid flow through said damper is substantially unimpeded and a closed position in which fluid flow through said damper is substantially impeded, said rotatable valve being actuated by a heat detector to move from said open position to said closed position, characterised by a deformable seal disposed between said housing and said rotatable valve such that when said rotatable valve is in said closed position, said deformable seal prevents fluid flow between said housing and said rotatable valve.
- the invention further provides a damper for sealing a conduit which extends through a barrier, said damper comprising a housing and a rotatable valve located in said housing, said rotatable valve having an internal passageway of substantially the same diameter as an internal diameter of said conduit, said rotatable valve being rotatable within said housing between an open position in which fluid flow through said damper is substantially unimpeded and a closed position in which fluid flow through said damper is substantially impeded, said rotatable valve being actuated by a defector to move from said open position to said closed position, characterised by a fusible link mechanism, said mechanism having an actuator including a shaft, a lever and a pivot pin assembled on a mount, said shaft being mounted through said mount and being driveably connected to said rotatable valve, said lever being connected to said shaft, said pivot pin normally retaining said lever in an open orientation with said rotatable valve, a fusible link retaining said pin in position such that when said fusible link is heated to a predetermined temperature,
- the term “barrier” is to be taken to mean a wall, a floor (particularly a slab floor of the type used in multi-storey buildings), a partition or the like, which are features of structures such as buildings.
- the term “conduit” is intended to refer to an aperture, a pipe, pipework, a conduit, a duct, or the like, features of structures such as buildings, particularly in the context of extending through a barrier.
- the term “fluid” is intended to mean gases, such as air-conditioning air, waste gases, and liquids such as liquid wastes and water.
- fire damper and the term “damper” are each to be taken to mean a device adapted to act as a closure to seal an aperture, such as a conduit, which extends through a barrier, to prevent fire, fluids and the like from spreading from one side of the barrier to the other side, through the aperture.
- the closure of the present invention not only provides a fire damper which is effective in closing a conduit formed by pipework, ducting or the like so as to prevent, or restrict the passage of fire therethrough, the closure also provides a sealing mechanism which is able to prevent the passage of smoke and toxic gases therethrough.
- the ability of the closure of the present invention to prevent the passage of smoke and toxic gases therethrough permits its use in other applications or provides further advantages. For example, by placing a toxin detector within the pipework or ducting, or adjacent one or more intakes the detection of a toxin can actuate the closure and prevent or limit contamination through the pipework or ducting.
- the rotatable valve is in the form of a cylinder or ball valve having an internal passageway which is of the same or similar diameter to that of the pipework, ducting or conduit in which it is fitted, or to which it is connected.
- the cylinder or ball valve is arranged so as to be rotatable about an axis between a normal open position where passage of fluid through the pipework or ducting is unimpeded to a position, generally at right angles to the open position, where passage of fluid prevented.
- Rotation of the cylinder or ball valve can be achieved by mechanical and/or electrical means.
- Mechanical rotation can be, for instance, by the use of a spiral spring retained in a recess formed in an exterior wall of the housing, having its outer end held by the housing and its inner end held by the cylinder or ball valve. In its normal configuration, the spring is under tension but it cannot rotate the ball or cylinder to a closed position until actuated by the detector.
- the closed position can be established by a pin located in the housing wall which meets a stop when rotation through 90° has been made.
- the rotatable valve may be driven by electrical means.
- the detector may be remote from the damper.
- the detector may be in the form of a thermal or smoke detector located within a building. Once the smoke or thermal detector is tripped, the detector actuates an electric motor causing the valve to rotate to the closed orientation.
- the rotatable valve may also be closed by a combination of mechanical and electrical means.
- an electric motor may operate the rotatable valve in response to output from a first set of detectors such as remote smoke or fire detectors, and a fusible or frangible linkage may be provided between the motor and the valve, which linkage may be broken by heat.
- the rotatable valve may be biased by a spring or the like to the closed position.
- the heat detector can be formed from a material which has the dual properties of, firstly, being capable of bonding or interlocking with an element of the damper arrangement and the housing and, secondly, being able to yield its bond or lock when it is heated to a predetermined temperature value. These properties enable the heat detector to be designed and located in such a manner that it will normally ensure that the damper arrangement is held open but when a predetermined, that is, pre-set, temperature is reached, it will yield, enabling the damper arrangement to close.
- Suitable heat detector materials are lead and its alloys, plastics materials and various composites. Typically, the temperature at which such materials yield will be in the range of 60°C to 120°C, depending upon the particular application, so as to meet governmental or local council requirements.
- the heat detector material can be located, for instance, in the interior perimeter of the housing where an element of the damper arrangement has an adjacency when in an open configuration.
- a circular seal of heat detector material such as a ring of lead, may be located between the housing and the ball valve at both the inlet and outlet sides.
- the heat detector material can comprise an alloy pad formed on the end of a bearing shaft which extends through the wall of the housing to a location within the damper arrangement, preferably at a location which does not impede the flow of fluid through the housing.
- a spiral spring retained in a recess on the outer side of the housing connects the shaft to the housing. The spring is normally held under compression and is only released from compression when the alloy pad yields upon being heated to the pre-set temperature, thereby enabling the shaft and damper to rotate to a closed position.
- the heat detector may be a thermocouple.
- the thermocouple can be connected by way of appropriate circuitry to a solenoid which retracts a pin extending between the housing and the damper arrangement, to permit the damper arrangement to close when the thermocouple detects a predetermined temperature value. Such a situation also permits the damper to be reset to an open configuration as well as facilitating the simultaneous operation of other fire dampers within the partition.
- testing means can be provided which enable the damper to be moved between its open and closed configurations.
- Such testing means may be automatic or manual.
- An automatic testing means may comprise a motor which drives, for instance, the aforementioned bearing shaft so as to rotate the attached damper.
- a manual testing means can consist of a simple lever fitted to the bearing shaft.
- the fire damper according to the present invention is ideally fabricated from ceramic materials but other materials such as fibre-reinforced concrete, metal and the like can also be used, depending upon the specific usage.
- the damper arrangement incorporates a cylinder or ball made from plastics material having an intumescent material embedded between inner and outer layers of the plastics material.
- the intumescent material expands when the cylinder or ball has rotated to its closed position, thereby providing an additional fire-stop feature.
- the housing preferably closely encases the rotatable valve such that there is little gap therebetween, sufficient to allow the rotatable valve to operate freely therein, , whilst minimising flow of fluid between the housing and the valve.
- a deformable seal may be disposed between the housing and the rotatable valve.
- the deformable seal may be mounted on the housing or the rotatable valve. It is preferred that the deformable seal is mounted on the housing.
- deformable seals are provided on the housing adjacent both ends of the rotatable valve. This is particularly advantageous in maintaining the integrity of the seal during fire.
- the closure acts to prevent fire or fumes passing from one side of the closure to the other. Whilst the deformable seal on the "hot" side of the closure may be destroyed or damaged due to the heat, the seal on the remote side of the closure is more likely to maintain its integrity.
- the deformable seal preferably has a seat for fixed engagement with the housing, such as within a recess or over a rib.
- the deformable seal preferably has one or more flanges extending from the seat for sealing engagement with the rotatable valve.
- the deformable seal may be formed from rubber or similarly flexible plastics materials.
- the deformable seal is formed in a co- moulding where the seat of the seal is formed from a hard formulation of rubber or rubber-like material and one or more extending flanges for engagement with the rotatable valve are formed from a softer, more readily deformable, rubber or rubber-like material.
- Usage of the fire damper of the present invention can range across a large number of fields from plumbing to ventilation, and air-conditioning installations.
- the closure of the present invention may be used for venting selected areas of a building.
- the venting requirements may differ. For example, during periods of high activity within selected areas of a building, the venting requirements may be high whilst during other periods minimal or no venting is required.
- the venting of a building requires the use of fans or the like. The operation of the fans must accommodate the maximum venting requirements.
- the closure of the present invention conveniently allows a more intelligent operation of a venting system whereby the fan or fans may be operated as required.
- the damper or closure of the present invention may be fitted with a motor drive allowing the rotatable valve to be maintained in an open or partially open condition whereby the volume of fluid able to flow through the closure is controlled.
- the closure in low demand periods the closure may be maintained in a partially open state and the fan or fans may be operated at a correspondingly reduced level.
- the closure of the present invention permits not only protection against fire, smoke and toxic fumes generated by fires but may also be able to be used in preventing contamination of a building through the ventilation system.
- a toxin sensor may be positioned within the ventilation system whereby on detection of a toxin the closures are shut such that the deformable seals prevent or limit contamination across the closures.
- a damper in accordance with the present invention in which electric means such as a solenoid or an electric motor are involved in the operation the rotatable valve, may also operate such that in the event of a power outage, the rotatable valve is closed to prevent smoke and gases such as toxic gases from passing through a barrier such as concrete slab.
- a power outage could trigger action to close the rotatable valve in a number of ways, including the use of a solenoid to withdraw a detent holding the valve against spring action, the use of battery power to operate the electric motor to close the valve, and so on.
- An electric motor involved in the operation of a damper according to the present invention may be remotely located with respect to the housing of a damper.
- the motor may be located beneath the floor slab, with transmission means such as a chain drive connecting the motor and the rotatable valve.
- the closure of the present invention has application in a variety of structures including buildings, particularly multi-storey buildings.
- Other applications for the use of dampers or closures in accordance with the present invention include on board ships where ventilation is required through compartments and bulkheads whilst preventing fire, smoke, and toxins passing through the ventilation system.
